Is the Rush Limbaugh ego an act?

Only that Republicans tend to value higher moral standards, and supporting just restrictions on abortions goes against the grain of many in the liberal camp, even if one's stance isn't complete elimination on abortion (that's trying to explain, not excuse).

Pro-war, against Health care for Children of the Working Poor, anti-environment, ant-labor, and so on and so forth, yeah they sure have the moral high ground.

And sometimes when I hear people of liberal persuasion condemning Rush for his failed marriages, pain killer addiction (after having had a friend who was addicted to pain killers I have a new understanding of the situation, BTW), giving credence or honoring certain speakers one personally had a problem with, etc. - I see this is attempts to turn us Conservatives against ourselves. If we turn against our own Voices and Warriors because they don't have "perfect" views or a "perfect" lifestyle, what will we become other than political Pharisees and ineffective dweebs. (Perhaps, that is the reason for such attacks? Think about it!)

No one condemns Rush specifically for his failed marriages or for dope addiction. Don't you get it? Its the hypocrisy of it. This is a guy that has made an entire career out of the running down those he disagrees with and exploiting their personal failures. Yet he was a horrible husband, burns through wives right and left, weaseled his way out of serving his country in Vietnam, and was a dope addict himself. Its the hypocrisy thats the problem.

I guess the 5% of the country that listens to his radio program don't get that, but the other 95% of us do.

Do you think that you can be a tad more judgemental?

Seriously, how do you know that he was a terrible husband? Am I missing some vital information,were you married to the guy? Maybe his wives cheated on him or just married him for his money. Maybe he couldnt father children and they couldnt handle that. As far as you degrading him on a serious problem with pain, that is heartless. He was addicted to prescription pain medication. Do you know the kind of pain he was in? Excruciating, from what I hear.

He did not "weasel" his way out of vietnam. He had a legitimate medical reason for not going. Well, at least the government thought so. The only hypocrites that I see are the ones who claim their Christianity but yet are for killing innocent babies in the womb.

Check your eyes for 2x4's before looking for splinters in others.

I am simply being observant and commenting on his actions. Whether he is a Christian or not is something known only to him and God.

Seriously, how do you know that he was a terrible husband? Am I missing some vital information,were you married to the guy? Maybe his wives cheated on him or just married him for his money. Maybe he couldnt father children and they couldnt handle that.

He was married three times, all ended in divorce. None of them were amicable either. If you burn threw 3 wives, there is something wrong with you as a husband. Even Bill Clinton managed to stay married.

As far as you degrading him on a serious problem with pain, that is heartless. He was addicted to prescription pain medication. Do you know the kind of pain he was in? Excruciating, from what I hear.

So excruciating he was eating 30 or more hillbilly heroines a day.

He did not "weasel" his way out of vietnam. He had a legitimate medical reason for not going.

Yeah, a cyst. Had he wanted to serve he could just had them drain the thing and he would went. He indeed weaseled his way out of service.

Well, at least the government thought so.

So when the government highly decorated John Kerry for his service, were they right as well? I guess so. I guess those Swift Boaters were liars.

The only hypocrites that I see are the ones who claim their Christianity but yet are for killing innocent babies in the womb.

I am not questioning his faith. I am saying that here is a guy that bashes the personal failings of others for a living (including Drug Addicts and people who have had problems in their marriages), yet he has had 3 divorces, has been a junkie, and weaseled his way out of service. So the guy is a hypocrite.

If you want to run down others with marital problems, then don't burn threw 3 wives yourself.

If you want to trash the service of others, then don't weasel your way out of serving your county in the war they actually served in.

If you want to make fun of drug addicts, then you had better not be a junkie yourself.

If that is not hypocrisy then what is?

Do you call into Limbaugh's program when he is bashing anyone with a D after their name and say "Rush you should not be judgmental"? Somehow I doubt you do.

The thing is guys he is laughing all the way to the bank while we argue about him.

I don't think he really cares, he has an act and it sells. I don't think we should take him more seriously than he takes himself, I don't really get having strong negative or strong positive feelings about him. To me it is like professional wrestling. I remember when I was a kid I was at the Minneapolis airport and I saw these three wrestlers together outside of their costumes and they were just the best of friends you could tell, I was devastated as they were mortal enemies in wrestling. We should not take any of these talk radio guys to seriously, including Rush Limbaugh.
